    while removing the sponge masking the hatches under the fuselage, it turned out that the sponge in unknown circumstances stuck to the edge of the hatch from the inside. I don't know what happened or what happened but I'm p****d. finally I glued small pieces of polystyrene to the inside of the lid and using Tamiya Clear glue, from the inside I glued the lid in the closed position. This is what I could do without repainting.

    Final bits. Broomsticks, dorsal turret, radio wire.

    PS. I had to drill the propeller mounting hole. The crust was too thick. Such memories from the times of the old airfix, which should not be repeated today.

    The photo's with the carrier decking look fantastic Lis (@lis) . The two figures with the yellow life vests make things pop and give interest to the viewer. The decking helps creates that ambience of a B-25 with its crew getting ready for the mission.

    Great save, Bernard (@lis). I have done similar things and your remedy worked well. The plane came out perfect, and photographed against the carrier deck makes it look even better.

    Absolutely beautiful result, Bernard @lis
    Everything looks perfect, also the tranparant parts are so clear that you have a perfect view on the interior.
    Well done.

    @johnb @fiveten @gblair @stephen-w-towle Thank you for your good words. Unfortunately, the showcase is delayed, it will be at the end of the week, so the final works will be in a few days as well as the article in the headnews.
